You spin me right round

dolphingirlHuh. Apparently I got some kind of a year-end bonus. I thought maybe they just paid me early because of the holiday (as Don's job did), but the paystub and the online bank statement say "bonus". And there was a letter included thanking us for our hard work and saying even though the economy is bad, our business should keep doing well because we're awesome &etc. So that was nice. It's only about $100, but I'm sho' nuff not turning my nose up at unexpected money!
It will help defray the cost of my recent Victoria's Secret purchase. I bought a few things on sale before Xmas and again after the Semi-Annual Sale started. I was in desperate need of underthings--I've been skating by with 6-year-old Vicky's bras and 4-year old ones from Target, and they're getting pretty decrepit. We will not even discuss the state of my panties. I need to get a lingerie bag to wash my things in. Somehow I kind of forgot that such a thing existed, and when I was thinking about laundry I suddenly remembered. I know you're really not supposed to wash them in the washing machine, but I skeeve hand-washing things. I feel like they never get clean.
Don actually didn't have to work yesterday, so Wednesday night we just hung out here and engaged in some of our favorite activities ;) Yesterday we slept in and watched the Twilight Zone marathon, and then he studied chess. He wants to get back into playing and maybe start competing again.
Sam appears to have a scratch or something under one eye. I thought it was eye gunk and tried to wash it off, but it looks like it's a little scab. She gets those all the time from sister-fights and occasionally overzealously scratching herself. It doesn't appear to be infected or bothering her at all--she's not squinting and didn't move or say anything when I touched it, so I'm just going to leave it alone and keep an eye on it.
I didn't realize how hardcore chickadees are until I moved here. It will be zero degrees or snowing and you don't even see any crows anywhere, but you can hear the chickadees chirping away like it's nothing.
